The latest trailer for Captain America: Winter Soldier kicked off an evening of multi-million dollar advertisements and trailers for movies that cost more to make than the gross national product of a mid-sized nation. There’s going to be some football too.

The new two-and-a-half minute peek at Marvel Studios’ April 4 release shows off a bunch of new stuff. You can see Black Widow’s new hairdo (ever notice how it changes in every movie?), Winter Soldier’s robo-arm, Falcon swooping around like a boss, and Cap beating the crap out of an elevator full of dudes in suits.

Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero is this year’s can’t-miss Cyber Monday game deal

It's rare for a licensed video game to feel like the ultimate adaptation of the franchise it's based on. I've seen it happen before with 2005's Star Wars: Battlefront II and Marvel's Spider-Man in 2018. This year, Dragon Ball finally got that treatment when Bandai Namco revived the Budokai Tenkaichi series with Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero. This bombastic 3D fighter embraces everything that makes Dragon Ball special and is all the better for it. Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero normally retails for $70, but this Cyber Monday you can find it discounted by 29% on Amazon and pick it up for just $50.

When I played Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero at Summer Game Fest earlier this year, I suspected it could be the ultimate Dragon Ball sandbox. I was relieved upon its release to see that this was truly the case. Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero is a 3D fighter with a massive 182-character roster of iconic Dragon Ball characters (and forms of them). Players can construct teams of up to five characters and then duke it out across a variety of locations from the Dragon Ball series.

My go-to gaming headset is on sale for Cyber Monday, and it’s worth it now

A Virtuoso Max headset sits on a stand on a desk.

Over the past few years, the best gaming headsets have gone premium. Gone are the days of gaudy headphones loaded with RGB lights and angular designs that stick out like a sore thumb. These days, the major audio players are more interested in creating high-quality headsets that you wouldn't be embarrassed to wear in public. The catch, though, is that these often come at a high price tag since these devices are being marketed more as lifestyle products than gaming ones.

That makes Cyber Monday such a crucial moment for gaming audiophiles. This weekend is your chance to get a premium headset for a reasonable price. If you need help figuring out which one to pick, I'd recommend Corsair's Virtuoso Max Wireless Headset, which is on sale at various retailers for $290 (down from $330). I feel comfortable recommending that even if it has its fair share of problems, because it's become my go-to headset over the past few months.

The best fighting game on Switch gets a Cyber Monday price cut

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate doesn't need an introduction for most gamers. The series began as a casual fighting party game with the first installment back in 1999 on the N64, but evolved into a full-fledged competitive fighter over the years with nearly 100 playable characters (including DLC content) and even more stages to battle it out with friends.

Whether you're looking to dive into the Smash Bros. world for the first time with the purchase of a new Nintendo Switch this holiday season or are just on the hunt for deals on the classics, the Cyber Monday discount on Super Smash Bros. Ultimate are definitely worth checking out. You can grab one of the best Switch games out there at Amazon right now for just $50 (a cool 16% discount off the normal price). Seasoned Switch owners will know that discounts on first-party Switch games are few and far between, so this is definitely a deal you'll want to take advantage of — chances are you won't see this game at a better price for quite a while.
